Vladimír Turner’s film Modern Times (based on Charlie Chaplin’s 1936 film of the same name) presents „hooverboard etudes“ and focuses on the alienation caused by technological progress. „Modern times have changed dramatically since Charlie Chaplin. Today, given his soulful reflection on the world, Chaplin would probably be dependent on Xanax,” says Turner.
According to Turner, in humanity’s effort to escape boredom and natural movement, it has achieved the ridiculous extension of human limbs via technological conveniences. The main character, a lone figure, strikes out onto the city streets and the wild landscape of the Atlantic coast. He gets into paradoxical situations drawn out to absurd proportions. The performer-tourist discovers some mountains, but in reality he is a lazy consumer who rides on a Hooverboard.
Turner is a good example of an „urban“ adventurer and supporter of so-called microadventureism. Hashtag #microadventure has been expanded globally through social networks by the British adventurer Alastair Humphreys, who in 2011 exchanged long journeys for small expeditions near his residence. He summed up his urban experiences in the book Microadventures: Local Discoveries for Great Escapes, which quickly became a bestseller.
The strong interest in the phenomenon of „local“ experiences thus satisfies into the current social need for a sustainable way of life and offers an alternative to today’s adventurers, whose desire for experiences is redeemed by their bad conscience regarding their surroundings and the environment.
The film was made with the support of the MeetFactory Gallery and the La Fourmie Association

It's been awhile since I've been to Malacca. Little did I know, on my recent trip, they have installed new benches for tourists to sit on. The one on the left, in my opinion, is a bus stands. I might be wrong though.

Weekly Photo Challenge - Addictions
Esta semana foi o nosso público que escolheu o tema do desafio. Um grande tema devo dizer! Tão rico! Eu fiquei-me pelo vício que os tempos modernos nos trouxeram: os medicamentos.
Hoje à mínima dor de cabeça pegamos em medicamentos; há pessoas, jovens ainda, que já vivem adormecidas em calmantes, medicamentos para dormir…
Já não se sente a ansiedade, o medo, a tristeza… Assim que essas sensações aparecem as pessoas agarram-se aos comprimidos.
Obrigada pela vossa participação, que foi mais intensa esta semana ;)
Esta semana temos um novo participante: Manuel Madeira.
Agora vamos lá ver as fotos do Manuel, do João, do Nuno, da Inês e da Alexandra, e votem, como sempre, na vossa favorita ;)

According to the national parks website, it is a 470 foot (142m) drop down to the Colorado River from the bridge. I can't imagine being a construction worker and building this bridge in 1995 let alone building the older bridge in 1929.
